>>50737853I love you, Fellow XYchad, but let's not pretend the show is going to give us anything beyond this point. Between the utterly terrible ladder, the lack of Infernape for Cynthia, and the fact it's unironically likely Iris is going to be Cynthia, competency is not on the menu. They're not smart enough to be this malicious. I'd like the idea of Alain training Ash too, but he's 100% disappearing after this episode, lost to time
